Take-Over: A BFB/TPOT AU

Chapter 46: Disagreements

Lollipop, Taco, & Book

"Where do you think they are?"

Taco looked over at Book, who seemed to regret asking. Of course, she was talking about Saw and Gaty. Taco didn't know, and she didn't care to think. She didn't dislike them; in fact, she didn't feel much for them. She never got to connect with Gaty, and she was minor friends with Saw at max. Lollipop merely grunted, too busy working on some sort of bow. Taco looked over at it but didn't have many hopes for the project afterward. The "bow" was just a very bent branch and sharp twigs next to it as arrows. She had to give some credit to her though, as she seemed bent on getting it to look like an actual weapon. Book gave a sigh, and said, "We should look for them, we need as many people-"
" I disagree. We should put it between us three only."

Book, surprised by her sudden statement, looked at Lollipop in shock. Did she know what she just said? Leave Saw and Gaty behind? Never! They were her friends, or, used to be. No matter, they still mattered to her, and she's not going to abandon them. Lollipop must've noticed, because she followed up with, "I KNOW you don't want to, but think about it. There aren't many people left in this, and there's probably going to be a point where we have to go solo. A 5 people alliance won't work, and I'm already stretching it with the three of us."
Taco looked up at her and nodded. She was never that close to Saw and Gaty anyways, and besides, Lollipop was right. This wasn't a team win; this was a solo win. And only one of them could win. Book still looked against it, but she had already been outvoted. Nodding, Lollipop abandoned her makeshift weapons and started back to the house. Taco followed back with no issue, but Book didn't move. Lollipop kept moving, but Taco could tell that she was forcing herself not to look back, knowing Book was going to object to this. Book seemed to yell something, but the other two were too far away. Taco looked at Lollipop and asked, "You have no idea what to do, do you?" No answer. Taco sighed, and walked, continuing with the silence. She missed the old way, back when everybody had gotten along again when T.P.O.T ended. She missed Woody and Blocky more than she'd like to say. They made her feel more like she belonged, not like she was isolated, like now.
"I know I was a little rough, but I was only saying the truth." Lollipop said abruptly.
"Hmm?"
"Leaving Gaty and Saw behind is the right action. No matter what feelings there are."
"Oh, yeah, I guess." Taco didn't know what else to say. Oh yeah, you're totally right, we should just forget them and try to win. Of course she wouldn't say that! Lollipop gave her a small smile, and said, "Thanks for being here, I don't think I would be here if-"

*Thwack*

"Lollipop?!"

Eraser, Coiny, & David

"Did you get her?"

David looked behind a bush as Eraser looked at what he'd done. Lollipop, or what she once was, was on the floor, her head in multiple pieces and dark purple liquid sugar came out of the stick. Taco was next to her, in shock of what had just happened. Eraser grunted in response to Coiny's question and readied another arrow. David just looked on, waiting for Taco to fall to the ground just like Lollipop had. However, just as Eraser was about to let go, Taco sprinted out, running as fast as she could. Swearing to himself, Eraser ran after her, dropping the bow and getting his pocketknife instead. Coiny swiftly picked up what he had dropped and followed Eraser. David followed with a jog, but he soon picked up once they stopped. He heard noises of struggling, and once he arrived, he saw what was happening.
Eraser was stabbing Taco, over and over again. She was crying, but they were slowly dying away as he stabbed faster, and more strongly. He had a cold and somewhat insane look, like he was waiting his whole life for this. Taco soon stopped, and Eraser stepped away from her body, grease all over him from Taco. Coiny handed him a handkerchief from his bag, which Eraser gladly took, wiping his hands and body. Eraser told a joke, and Coiny laughed. Great, he's back to normal. David tuned them out and worked on sharpening a sickle he found in one of the teams' chests, and it turned out to be a great weapon. It ended other objects quickly and harvested food swiftly. He was about to take a small nap until he heard loud footsteps. The other two noticed too, and Eraser pulled out his knife again.

It was Book, and she was saying something loudly. She stopped though, and put her hand to her mouth, trying not to throw up at Taco's dead body. He could see why, Eraser destroyed her face, her eyes were coming out, her limbs were in weird positions, and the grease was forming a pool under her, not to mention the smell it made. Moving to get a better angle, David accidentally stepped on a large twig, and it made a loud noise. Book heard this and ran into the forest, Eraser didn't bother going after her, Taco had taken all his energy already. He did give a glare to David though, before resuming his laidback nature, talking to Coiny. David didn't care, and walked over to Taco's body, pinching his nose to avoid the smell. He looked around, trying to see if she had anything useful; the answer is no.

He walked back and took a large breath. He looked to see what the other two were doing and saw that they were looking for who to go to next. He saw that he had almost all the territories in mind, although he seemed to have left Death P.A.C.T out. He tapped Eraser's shoulder and signaled to Death P.A.C. T's, which had a large X over it. Eraser brushed him off, saying that they're probably all dead by now. Confused, David shook his head, remembering that 4's announcement said that a decent amount of them were still alive. Coiny also looked confused, but Eraser just responded with, "Look, they're going to be dead soon, with their whole 'against death' thing. And if they aren't, then they're pretty easy targets."

Although that was a pretty solid argument, it felt like there was another reason, a reason that Eraser didn't want to say out loud. He looked at Coiny, who seemed to be thinking the same thing, but neither said anything. If Eraser didn't want to say, then they weren't going to pry. Eraser got all his things in a small bag and put it over his shoulder, walking towards Team Ice Cube's territory. David followed, wondering what his strategy will be. He glanced at Coiny and Eraser again, knowing that this small alliance won't last for much longer.
